Thank you for the information, Major Nelson. It is my lucky day because I did not get this error message since....

I always wondered why they didn't change the status code to an error message. Even when I got this a second, third, etc. time I was confused, until I checked my total free memory. Also, offering a larger than 20 gig hd would be nice. :)

I really thought that before there was that much content on Marketplace they would have had a bigger hard drive up for sale!!!

It's not always that (not enough HD space free). Or if it is then there is some programming error somewhere else: I have 13GB free showing on my 360 - only 1 or 2 videos and all demos are deleted after I try them out. I got that error when trying to download the Shaun Alexander - Madden 07 video. The very next day, I was allowed to download the video without a problem.

Mass storage is so inexpensive. I don't understand why 20GB would cost $99, or why 160gb would cost any more than $99.

Hey guys, look at MS's pedigree with SOFTWARE rather than hardware and you will see that there are other solutions to a lack of H/DD space... MS already has a cut-down version of "Storage Migrator" in their server operating systems; so there could be a two-pronged attack on the issue... YES - there could be a HDD upgrade and YES - that would cost several bucks and would likely annoy a large portion of the userbase but what about... Microsoft want to OWN your living room - and having run Vista Beta2 for about 6 weeks now I can say that they SHOULD - it's a joy to use and is much faster working with external or network connected hardware than XP. So for those users who subscribe to this ideal (e.g, have "Media Center" edition or in the future run "Vista") why not offer a dash upgrade with MCE / Vista extension so that as the hard-disk fills, the XBOX will actively "Push" infrequently accessed content accross the network to a registered PC on which storage is much more readily available? They could employ a system like the one on "Sky+" where you can nominate some content to "Keep" which will stay on the 360s local HDD otherwise the system is free to archive off to remote storage like an HSM system; then if you try to access archived data the 360 will let you know that it is retrieving it from remote to local storage for use with a delay. This would leverage the user's investment in hardware and software, and Microsoft's expertise in storage management, AND give another layer of integration into the digital home infrastructure. Offering this facility for "Free" might also act as a lost leader for MS - rather than to buy that 50" plasma you had been saving for this month; put it off and buy yourself a new machine to run Vista or MCE on instead... Win / win for all involved. What do you reckon, Major? We know that Microsoft are able to pull on a lot of expertise from various dev. teams and that they can leverage their licensed IP from group to group - anyone else think this could work? Could point to an excellent method of storage integration; and offer virtually unlimited capacity for NO extra cost to the digitally inclined...

The hard drive is probably fine if you are the only person that uses the 360, but what if you have a family and they all use it and they all have different tastes in games.

I think with all the content available on live right now the community really needs a much larger hard disk if we want to keep enjoying the content on live.

this is typical... after 10gb HD, it will be full after about 6 months of constant download... then people will say they'll need 50 gb HD....6 months after, it's filled again... then people will say they'll need 150 gb HD.... and it keeps going and going and going and going.... some people likes to keep the movies and music in their HD....myself I use my iPod to play music so i don't have single music....mostly movies, trailers and demo which i delete after either the game/movie release or just when i get tired of it.... i don't know why people keep the demos when they have full version as well....

It definetly means something other than hard drive space. I have 12GB on my hard drive, yet sometimes cannot download themes or trailers and I get that error code. For anyone that does get the error code, the work around is this: - Goto the demo/trailer/whatever on marketplace you want to download - Select Download Now and the status should goto 1%. This is where it normally times out for me and errors. - If you wait about 10 seconds, then hit 'Cancel Download', then go back to the Marketplace and select 'Download Again' it should get past the 1% and download OK. As I said, I have had this issue with downloading tiny files so it cannot be a capacity issue.

Yep, that has just worked for me. Damn the Deadrising demo is big.

Loook at it this way, it comes with 13GB usable space. Anyone who buys FFXI, that's another 5GB, down to 7GB. It really doesn't too much to fill that with demos and trailers, especially post-E3 where there has been a huge amount of decent content. We can beat about the bush all we want, but the bottom line is that we're already seeing a lot of users filling up their HDD's, and they're not even hording - just normal downloading. This is going to become a bigger problem as more content is put on the marketplace and more people will fill their drives? 'Just delete stuff!' people say? That's ignoring the core problem that the HDD size doesn't reflect the content going onto the ever-expanding Marketplace.

They need to release a 50 to 100 gig hard drive, if possible for a reasonable price, and let us download full games at home!! Or just let us rent a game by downloading, and have it auto-delete after your rental period has passed.

Typical programmer attitude - why not "There's not enough space on your storage device"? You're not doing your support staff any favours by putting up cryptic messages like this.
